Rescue Organization Details

Humane Society of the Black Hills

The Humane Society of the Black Hills is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization that has worked with the community to provide shelter and care for the lost, homeless, forgotten and abused animals for nearly 50 years.
We believe that every pet deserves a loving home and the chance to be someone’s best friend. HSBH is an open admissions shelter; we will not turn any animal away.
HSBH currently operates the only major animal shelter west of the Missouri River in SD. Because of the shortage of shelters, strays and animals are picked up from as many as 20 different counties. These animals come from a population base of approximately 180,000 people. Each year, just over 4 ,600 stray and unwanted animals are sheltered and cared for at the HSBH, with almost half being adopted.
